The data for decision making exploded in recent years, and it will continue to do so in future, probably even faster. Some of the data can be analysed and understood with simple statistics, but much of it requires more complex, multivariate statistical techniques to convert these data into knowledge.

Multivariate techniques are extension of univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. Researchers now require knowledge of these techniques.
